1  Plant protection products 
(active substances and formulated products). Fertilizers and 
agrochemicals. A Directive to be applied by 25 developed Members 
sets out standards for the registration and approval of plant protection products for marketing or use in their territory, according to which the registration of 
all active substances of plant protection products 
(and their formulated products) must be revalidated.  The Directive limits the use, essentially for commercial reasons, of a considerable number of products that were normally utilized until the standard was approved.  The time, costs and 
requirements associated with the registration of 
products makes such registration impossible to obtain. - Simplification of the 
procedure (including shortening of the time required) for the approval of 
plant protection products as 
established in the mentioned Directive. 
 - If this is not possible, a 
simplified process should 
exceptionally be introduced for a limited list of products. The regulations 
are particularly damaging in that, by not 
permitting the 
slightest trace of unregistered products in imported foods, they in fact 
prohibit the 
extraterritorial use of such products and promote the use 
of products with 
local patents.

2  Plant protection products 
(active substances and formulated products).  Foods and animal feeds. The application of the abov e Directive prevents the 
extraterritorial use of certain inputs which, until the standard was approved, were normally used, in that it prohibits the slightest residue of such products in imported foods.  The supranational body responsible for issuing the measure recognizes that 
in many cases in which maximum residue limits 
(MRLs) are set in the detection limit (DL), the MRLs could be higher without jeopardizing the security of consumers.  In fact, a number of Members that should be applying the measure are 
using products that have been rejected thanks to a 
waiver declaring the product to be of "essential use".  However, this procedure is not accepted for imported foods and animal feeds. - Increase in the MRL for 
products which have not been shown to be harmful or damaging to consumer health. 
 - If this is not possible, there 
should be an exceptional 
increase in the DL for a limited list of products. 
 - Establishment of an "essential 
use" category for a limited list 
of products imported from Argentina.

_______________ 
 
  Le 20 mai 2009, l'Organe de règlement des différends ("ORD") a adopté les décisions et 
recommandations du Groupe spécial concernant l'affaire Colombie – Prix indicatifs et restrictions 
relatives aux bureaux d'entrée  (WT/DS366/R, WT/DS366/R/Corr.1).  À la réunion de l'ORD du 
19 juin 2009, la Colombie a fait part de son inte ntion de mettre en œuvre les recommandations et 
décisions de l'ORD conformément au rapport du Groupe spécial et a demandé un délai raisonnable 
pour le faire.   Conformément à l'article 21:3 b) du Mémorandum d'accord sur l es règles et procédures 
régissant le règlement des différends  ("Mémorandum d'accord"), le Panama a procédé à des 
consultations avec la Colombie da ns le but de déterminer un déla i raisonnable mutuellement convenu 
pour la mise en œuvre des recommandations et décisions du rapport du Groupe spécial.  Toutefois, les parties n'ont pas pu parvenir à un accord.  En c onséquence, le Panama demande que le délai 
raisonnable soit déterminé par arbitrage contra ignant, conformément à l'article 21:3 c) du 
Mémorandum d'accord. 
 
  Le Panama attend de pouvoir consulter la Colo mbie au sujet de la désignation de l'arbitre 
dans les dix prochains jours, comme le prévoit la note de bas de page 12 du Mémorandum d'accord.
